The Cosmere 101 | Realmatic Theory

The Cosmere has proven to be quite the complex and intricately crafted place and I think that the previous Cosmere 101 videos stand as a testament to that fact. Brandon Sanderson has crafted a shared universe with a lot of care and attention to detail and the sheer scale of it already has me baffled despite how early we likely are in the Cosmere’s lifetime.
Well it’s about to get even more complex because in today’s video we’ll be exploring the three different realms of the Cosmere and we’ll be briefly going over each of these interesting concepts Brandon Sanderson has crafted for us...

The spiritual realm is basically Plato's theory of the forms

[@RavensRants]

Hmmm I'll have to look into that

[@sorin_markov]

"Nobody wants to see [a video on the Spiritual Realm]"
Well, I for one know next to nothing about it, and this video alone told me a lot I didn't know. Will you be needing some Advil?

[@joshhoehne8281]

Lol, I certainly wouldn’t mind a more in depth breakdown of the spiritual realm. Of course, it’s still the realm that we know the least about. But Raven could certainly find some interesting tidbits from the little Brandon has shown us. And there’s the always fun speculations and theory crafting he could dip into as well!

[@RavensRants]

Lol the Spiritual Realm is like a puzzle wrapped in an enigma. And if we ever get more information on it, I may attempt a full video. But for now, I think this will have to suffice

[@joshhoehne8281]

This is IMO probably the single most important overarching aspect for those seriously getting into the Cosmere as a whole to grasp. Another well thought out and presented 101 video!

[@RavensRants]

Thanks Josh! I was kind of wondering whether or not people would be interested in a video on the Realms

[@ZsLows]

@@RavensRants of course! If you're ever wondering whether or not people would be interested, the answer will most likely be yes.

[@Walpurgis117]

Another great primer video! The Spiritual Realm is especially confusing and this helps make it clearer, even though it's still very mysterious.

[@RavensRants]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@luthien47]

Great video, made so much sense to finally discover shardworlds are all next to each other in the CR

[@RavensRants]

Lol yeah it's pretty cool

[@stittastutta]

Now we know wind and truth has Dalinar travelling to the Spiritual Realm you might want to reconsider that extended video on the subject!

[@nathaneshler4099]

I'm glad I found your channel! I finished all the Mistborn books and am currently reading Oathbringer, your videos have cleared up a lot for me. I've been binging your cosmere 101 instead of studying lol.
Would the spiritual realm identity explain why stormlight won't heal Kaladin's slave brand, but did heal the others in bridge four? Or why his tattoo to cover it would heal but the others would not? Because for Kaladin his slave brand is a representation of who he subconsciously believes he is and serves as a physical reminder of his mental health struggles, and the tattoo can't override this?

[@RavensRants]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! And yes, you've hit it on the head. Kaladin's scars won't heal until he no longer sees himself as a broken slave. It's connected to Spiritual Identity

[@dinocollins720]

another great video!!!

[@enderrbl5026]

It is true that Cosmere is complex, but what started bothering me is the fact that some of the planets in Cosmere have only one continent.

[@Calzour]

Great video! Keep it up

[@RavensRants]

Thanks!

[@ditzykunoichi]

Super interesting how similar Brandon's universe is to the one I've been making, before I had any knowledge of his works! I hope that means I'm on the right path lol

[@blackholegaming1354]

There where some minor spoilers for Stormlight and you said the video was spoiler free

[@Dhardeman1981]

The fused were trapped on braze roshars sister planet

[@dinocollins720]

this one is complicated haha

[@zapler2]

Neoplatonism moment
